When you start making music, especially when you’re getting ready to finish your track, it’s important to know what makes it sound professional. Here are some key points to help you create that polished sound.
Having the right balance of sounds is super important.
You don’t want the low sounds, like bass, to be too strong compared to the middle and high sounds.
Using EQ (equalization) can help you give space to each instrument.
For instance, if you have a kick drum and bass playing together, you might want to lower some bass sounds around 60-80 Hz. This way, the kick drum can be heard clearly.
It’s important that all the sounds and voices in your track are at the right volume.
After mixing, you will need to adjust the levels so nothing sounds too loud or too soft.
You can use reference tracks for help.
Find a song that sounds good in the same style as yours and compare the levels.
Dynamic range is about the difference between the quietest and loudest parts of your track.
Having a good balance keeps your track exciting and emotional.
You don’t want everything to sound flat or squished together. Use compression carefully to keep some variety while getting the loudness you want.
A wide stereo image makes your track sound more open and interesting.
You can pan different sounds—like putting guitars a bit to the left and keys a bit to the right—to create a better listening experience.
Just don’t go overboard, or it might make the mix sound messy.
A professional track is usually loud but still sounds good.
While mastering, you will probably use a limiter to make your track as loud as possible without causing distortion.
The goal is to reach a loudness level of around -14 dB to -10 dB LUFS while keeping the sound quality.
By focusing on these key points during the mastering process, you can turn your music from good to great.
Happy producing!
